Not really, especially if you understand the nation of Islam.Is he a Muslim? I remember reading an interview not long ago where he said he was both a Christan and a Muslim, which at least from an Islamic viewpoint of theology, is totally impossible
Not really, especially if you understand the nation of Islam.
Louis Farrakhan said what's good @0:28I'm a Muslim, and what we as Muslims believe is not the same as the Nation. Some of the theology that members of the Nation of Islam believe in (from Wallace Fard Muhammad on down) put them outside the scope of belief of what Muhammad (PBUH) taught and what makes one a Muslim.
However, if he is a member of the Nation his statement makes sense.

Pure ether
Just watched the video. I can see where Farrakhan is coming from as far as judging character via actions in public versus actions in private (preforming charity versus just praying), and while he criticizes those who he says are inquiring about "true Islam", I don't believe he spells out what that is in the video.
And I don't need him to. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did that clearly enough for me and nothing Farrakhan could or would say would ever override what the Prophet said before him. Simply put,associating partnership with Allah (SWT) puts one outside the scope and practice of Islam. If Farrakhan or anyone else, inside the Nation or outside of it believes in the divinity of Jesus (PBUH), WF Muhammad or any other human being, that is what they are doing
I have respect for the work the Nation has done, as a group that has helped black people get off drugs, start businesses or even at the very least given black people a positive sense of identity when everything in our society did the opposite. But in theological terms, if they associate partners with Allah (SWT) they are not Muslims.
And the thing is alot of Muslims outside the NOI dont consider NOI as legit. Or the Moorish folks either. They add stuff in for black folks but thats more political than religious.
Shirk is the number 1 unforgivable sin in islamPersonally, I wouldn't call Nation or the Moorish Science Temple illegitimate, not their views/values invalid, especially considering the political context both movements originated and exist in.
But I wouldn't call what they believe in Islam either
